Christopher Staton

Christopher was born in San Jose on March 31, 1984 and grew up in the Willow Glen area. He attended St. Christopher Grade School and St. Francis High School. He grew up with stepbrothers Paul and Andy, stepsister Melanie and stepmother Cheryl Fiske. He graduated from Gonzaga University becoming a lifelong loyal fan of the Zags. It was also at Gonzaga that he met his true love, Katy.

In the following years, he earned an MBA, and with an entrepreneurial spirit, partnered up to sell a software program. Most recently, he was working on a screenplay project that allowed him to follow his passion, writing.

Christopher loved his mother’s large family, and partook in the family pilgrimages to Italy. He loved movies and relaxing on the front porch of the family ranch house. Christopher was smart, loyal, gifted, intuitive, and curious. He has touched so many lives and will be remembered forever.

He was a loving son to his father, Jerry Staton. They were a team and devoted to each other through the years.

Christopher leaves his father, Jerry Staton, multiple aunts, uncles, cousins, on his mother’s side (Carolyn Traina), and his step-family (the Fiskes) and friends. He was universally loved by all and will be truly missed. He is preceded in death by his mother Carolyn Staton and his grandparents Justin and Josephine Traina.

A memorial for Christopher will be held on May 13, 2017 at 12:00pm at Lima Family Santa Clara Mortuary, in Santa Clara, CA.
